I paid you 40USD to ship Sherbourne across the north sea and I paid Pavel 60USD for shipping the Viking Ship from a warzone… pretty fair if you ask me.

Oh, that sounds interesting.

The more complex the designs, the longer these things take. A lot of CAD work, so nothing to show as yet. I can tell you the decal sheet is done and has been delivered, and most of the resin print production is done. It is quite a large and complex kit with many pre cut and pre engraved parts, the latter more than even Indy, and all of this takes time to develop. Once I start cutting my final designs and build it up, for Jim to follow, I can post pics of my final prototype build, but until then, it is all just on CAD, on my PC. This applies also to the photo etched files. I need to complete these at the same time the laser cut designs are more or less cooked, and those are 90% done. Rest assured though, this is all I am working on, although I do get side tracked a lot due to having to produce more stock for current kits....
